Welcome to the online home of Audra Jennings, a book publicist and crafter. Here I share about both. I hope you'll find books you'll want to read and crafts you will want to order. I live a rather boring, single life. At times I would like to think I am humorous. The kids I teach in Bible class tend to think so. I also blog about current seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. I don't know why, I just do.

The nineteen-twenties birthed a time of turbulence and change. The end of a "war to end all wars" will do that. Young cousins Lilly, a Montana girl, and Rosie, a New York girl, find these times reflective of their personal lives. In Baroness (Summerside Press, March 6, 2012, ISBN: 978-1609366315, $14.99) both young women, touched by the cruelty of war, seek assurance of love and belonging: Lilly believes fulfillment lies back in Montana; Rosie, only in bright lights and adoration of the masses.

Expected to marry well and to take the reins of the family empire, they have their lives planned out for them. But following their dreams -- from avant garde France, to Broadway, to the skies in the world of barnstormers and wing-walkers -- will take all their courage. And if they find love, will they choose freedom or happily ever after?

Susan May Warren's books are renowned for reflecting real life: the longings, failings, and redemption we all experience. True to form, Warren demonstrates in Baroness the value of knowing who you are and where you belong. Broken hearts, forgiveness, family loyalty, and unconditional love all serve to help Rosie and Lilly realize how to obtain true security of place and person.

Author Susan May Warren says, "No matter how far we run, how many 'lives' we try on, we will never find ourselves outside of God's love for us. More than that, understanding His relentless love for us -- not unlike Oliver's love for Lilly -- changes us."

This second in the Daughters of Fortune series is a standalone title that follows the next generation of Prices as they deal with new life after the Great War and the consequences of their parents' choices. Along with Rosie and Lilly, you will learn the truth of Romans 8:38-39, that nothing is able to separate us from the love of God, which is Christ Jesus.

Praise for the series:

"In-depth characterization and fascinating historical detail... an honest reflection of sin and the need for God's redemption." --TitleTrakk

"Strong entertaining, character-driven historical that will remind readers all that glitters on Wall St. is not gold... Riveting read of high society drama...highly recommended." --Midwest Book Review

About Me

Audra is a publicist who promotes books and writes about other people for a living. She's also a hermit who spends way too much time within the walls of her home since her office is just upstairs.

When she's not trying to get you to read a variety of books, she's probably watching too much reality TV or annoying her Facebook friends with pictures of crochet and other craft projects.

You can find Audra on her blog, posting rants about something (it's not her neighbors anymore) and other meaningless nonsense (www.audrajennings.com), or on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram where she never fails to make snarky remark.

On occasion, I also buy books and read and review them for enjoyment too.
